Training and cancellation conditions

Prerequisites for training

Health and fitness

• Students must be of legal age.
• Students must be in good physical condition and not suffer from any disability or illness that would prevent them from working safely. They must be physically fit enough to perform their assigned tasks correctly without problems of strength, agility, or coordination, and be able to withstand the stresses of the work environment, as well as heat, cold, and other inclement weather.
• Students will need to certify that they have no physical disabilities or contraindications that could prevent them from participating safely in the training. The minimum requirement is to submit a self-certification document, which must be signed on the first day of the course.
• The student declares under their own responsibility that they are capable of performing 8 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 50 sit-ups. They also declare that they do not routinely experience drops in blood pressure or glucose levels, epilepsy, schizophrenia, or other physical or mental conditions that alter their state of consciousness.
• If a student has a contraindication controlled with medication, they will have to submit a document signed by their doctor specifying what type of illness or disability they have and that this will not affect the technician at all when taking the training and that they will always have access to the medication necessary to control their health problem.
• Students should consider their experience when progressing to higher levels. Those students who lack the necessary experience, appropriate prior training, and required knowledge will not reach the minimum level of knowledge required for the exam.

Special requirements for IRATA courses

Basic requirements of the training program

• It is mandatory to complete a minimum of 5 days of training followed by an exam conducted by an external IRATA examiner.
• No maneuvers will be carried out on the premises without the direct supervision of the monitors.
• No actions will be taken that endanger one’s own safety or that of other attendees.
• Personal and collective materials will not be used for any purposes other than those intended.
• Students should attend the course in comfortable clothing.
• It is not permitted to take alcohol or drugs before or during the course.
• The use of protective equipment is mandatory; anyone who does not comply with the safety regulations will be expelled without the right to a refund of the course fee.
• Need for supervision.
• Renewals are every three years.
• A record of hours worked must be kept in the Logbook.

Access to levels 2 and 3

• Students applying to advance to higher levels must have full knowledge of the practical and theoretical requirements of their current level before undertaking the higher level training. For example, a level 1 technician aiming to advance to level 2 will be able to perform all level 1 maneuvers and answer the theoretical questions before the start of the level 2 course.
• Students wishing to access higher levels will have to prove that:
  1. Your certificate is still valid on the day of the exam.
  2. They have the required experience to level up: 12 months of previous experience and 1000 hours recorded and signed in the Logbook.
• Students progressing to higher levels will need to present their Logbook at the start of training. If a student has lost their Logbook, they must request a new one from the IRATA International registration department to complete and verify it before training begins.

Training cancellation conditions

Registrations cancelled by the student must be communicated in writing (email) to the training center at least 7 calendar days before the start of the course. After this deadline, the student may use the reservation for other dates. Otherwise, the center will not refund the amount paid by the student as a reservation fee.
